I wonder whether your first machine has some leftover configuration from
an old machine, or something... my only options are "Unicode (UTF-8)"
and "Current Locale (UTF-8)", and when I click "Add or Remove..." to go
to the preferences for locale selection, ANSIX3.4-1968 (or any other way
to spell "plain 7-bit ASCII") isn't even listed as an option.
